Summary:

The 14043 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Cayuga Heights Elementary School and John A Sciole Elementary School. Based on the available data, John A Sciole Elementary appears to be the standout performer, with significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments compared to Cayuga Heights Elementary and the state averages.

John A Sciole Elementary, which is part of the higher-performing Lancaster Central School District, had 67.02% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA and 70.53% in 3rd grade Math, outpacing Cayuga Heights Elementary's 59.88% and 49.06% respectively, as well as the statewide averages. Additionally, John A Sciole's proficiency rates improved from the previous year, while Cayuga Heights saw declines in some subject areas.

Despite Cayuga Heights Elementary, which is part of the lower-ranked Depew Union Free School District, spending significantly less per student ($15,954 vs $20,994 at John A Sciole), the data suggests John A Sciole is achieving better academic outcomes. This raises questions about the relationship between funding and student performance. Additionally, Cayuga Heights has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may indicate a more economically disadvantaged student population compared to John A Sciole.
